How we use our eyes to maximize our vision while shooting a shotgun varies largely by what we're shooting at—and when and where we're gunning. While tackling targets on a clays course, where we have the distinct advantage of viewing targets before stepping into the cage for our go at the clays, there's time to make a visual plan that includes where we want to engage the birds—and where we want to stroke them from the sky.

On the flip side, when bird hunting, especially when the quarry is flushing game, we know neither exactly where the bird will explode from the cover—nor with any certainly to where it will wing to make its escape. In the dove field, or even in a duck blind, we have the advantage of typically seeing birds approaching. But then even that "visual" advantage can quickly evaporate in a single wing beat or mere shift of a cupped wing of a gliding, speedy bird.
